GBO is a gashapon toy specialty store that enriches Bandai’s official “GASHAPON®” campaign. The first GBO in Vietnam will follow the GBO concept currently developed mainly in Japan, and will be the only place where all new GASHAPON® products available in Vietnam can be purchased.

As a pioneer in the Japanese animation and character industry, we provide Vietnamese children and young adults with various “funny moments” originating in Japan. In recent years, through the dissemination of network information and videos, the popularity of Japanese animation and cute things has increased rapidly, and even our sales alone, the related product market has been growing at double digits every year. In this context, our company, Bandai and Takashimaya Vietnam agreed that we want Vietnamese people to enjoy GASHAPON®, which is becoming more and more popular around the world, and this idea has been realized. We plan to open new GBO stores mainly in Ho Chi Minh City, and we want to introduce the “GASHAPON®” culture that originated in Japan to many people in Vietnam.

Takashimaya Ho Chi Minh City, which is about to open this time, is located in the center of Ho Chi Minh City, and as the first department store in Vietnam, it is mainly supported by local people as a one-stop shop for valuable products. GASHAPON® and GBO are the most suitable places to spread new culture in Vietnam. The opening will be on August 9 (Wednesday). We have invited many well-known Internet celebrities and are planning the opening ceremony.
